From the 1973 North American tour, the definitive edition of the San Francisco performance on June 2nd will be released!
One of the most representative performances of the 1973 American tour, which has been released in the past.

The 1st and 2nd CDs contain a stereo Aud sound source, and the 3rd CD contains a stereo SB sound source.
Both sound sources are the same source as the previous ones (however, neither Aud nor SB is on the net), but it is a big point that the phase correction of the Aud sound source part was applied for the first time this time.
In almost all titles, the sound image was greatly biased to the left channel side in the Aud sound source part, but the original recording is not in the middle when phase correction is done, but the performance is It was a recording that was almost localized in the center.
This alone will give you a very different impression than the previous ones.

Also, the tape speed, which was fast in most of the existing titles, has been corrected accurately. Originally, Jimmy’s guitar was out of tune on this day (not limited to), and it was difficult to judge, but it was verified and pitch-corrected based on Johnsy’s keyboards, so this is not a safe drop. Kato (* Jimmy’s guitar is slightly higher after modification, but there is almost no problem).
It’s not good if it’s too early, but it’s even worse if it’s too low.

In addition, there was no problem with the band, etc., so it is almost the same.
Regarding the cut part, there are cuts in “No Quarter”, “Dazed And Confused”, and “Moby Dick” as well as the previous ones, of which “Moby” is greatly cut, but in consideration of discomfort, it is an SB sound source Is not compensated. Also, the cut part between songs after playing “Moby Dick” was a place where there was a lot of sound leakage in the already released, but although there is a cut in the main board, it is in a recording state that is not missed even compared to the already released. In addition, it is recorded without omission until it ends with the last curl cut of the second CD. Of course, there is no DAT digital noise that was partly seen in the vicinity, and there is no distortion of volume level over as seen in the krw_co version of the net, so even if you look at it comprehensively There is no doubt that this title will be the decisive board.

Also, for the SB part on the 3rd CD, the phase correction and EQ processing that had already been neglected were performed accurately, and the high frequencies that were a little unsatisfactory were sharpened, making it easier to hear. up.
The missing parts are compensated as much as possible with the Aud sound source, and the parts that were overlooked in the existing titles are carefully compensated so as not to make you feel uncomfortable. When compensating for Aud, the Aud sound source is monolithized and EQ-processed in consideration of consistency with SB audio, so you can watch the relevant part without worrying about it.

Limited numbering and a sticker attached to the front of the case.

’73年北米ツアーより6月2日サンフランシスコ公演の決定盤が登場!
過去にも散々リリースされてきた、まさに73年アメリカツアーを代表する公演のひとつ。

CD1-2枚目にはステレオAud音源、3枚目にはステレオSB音源を収録。
音源はともに既発と同じソースではありますが(但しAud、SBともにネットではない)、今回初めてAud音源部分の位相修正が施されたのは大きなポイントでしょう。
既発では、ほぼ全てのタイトルで、Aud音源パートでは音像が左ch側へ大きく偏ってしまっていましたが、本来の録音は位相修正をするとど真ん中、とまでは言いませんが、演奏はほぼセンターに定位する録音だったのです。
これだけでも既発と比べ、かなり印象が違って聞こえることでしょう。

また、殆どの既発タイトルで早かったテープスピードに関しても的確に補正。元々この日(に限らず)ジミーのギターはチューニングがだいぶ狂っており、判断に苦しむところもありますが、ジョンジーのキーボード類を基準に検証のうえピッチ補正されており、これが無難な落としどころではないかと(*修正後もジミーのギターがほんの僅かに高めですが殆ど問題なし)。
早すぎてもダメだが、低すぎるのはもっとダメという判断。

その他、帯域等に関しては元々問題なかったため、ほぼそのままとなっております。
カット部についてですが、既発同様に「No Quarter」、 「Dazed And Confused」、 「Moby Dick」にカットがあり、このうち「Moby」は大きくカットされていますが、違和感を考慮しSB音源での補填はされていません。また「Moby Dick」演奏後の曲間カット部も既発では結構な音漏れがある箇所でしたが、本盤でもカットはあるものの、既発と比べても取りこぼしのない収録状態となっているほか、CD 2枚目最後のキュルルカットで終わるところまで漏れなく収録。もちろん近辺に一部既発で見られたDATデジタルノイズなどもなく、またネットのkrw_coバージョンで見られたような音量レベルオーバーの歪みも全編通して一切ないということで、総合的に見ても間違いなく本タイトルが決定盤となることに間違いありません。

また、CD3枚目のSBパートについても、やはり既発にておざなりにされてきた位相の修正とEQ処理が的確に行われ、若干物足りなかった高域にメリハリがつき、聞きやすさは若干ながらアップ。
欠落部については、ここではAud音源にて可能な限り補填が施され、既発タイトルでは見逃されていた箇所まで違和感ないよう丁寧に補填処理がなされております。Aud補填の際はSB音声との整合性を考慮しAud音源をモノ化、EQ処理のうえ補填されていますので、該当箇所は気にならずに鑑賞頂けます。
